Aside from a few big-screen debutantes, the debut doesn't offer anything new to talk about. From the commonplace female indie themes, to the realistic hand-held camera technique, to the easily guessable plot development, everything feels so familiar. It took me a long time to recall Sofia Coppola's debut novel, "The Virgin Suicides." Eighty percent of the storyline is the same, except that the background of this one is a small mountain village in Turkey. It is also the debut work of a female director. This one is obviously not in-depth and thorough in exploring the topic of female growth and independence. It is not the author's characteristic to show the problem in a superficial way. The key is that the director did not give a final solution. France actually selected this work to compete for the best foreign language film at the Oscars this year. It is estimated that it wanted to take the opportunity to show the important ideas of freedom and equality in its culture. The story of rebelling against traditional social norms and striving for women's independence in the film is indeed very eye-catching, although it happened. in Turkey and not in France.
